Repair or replace?
Is it time for a new system?
If your system is older or hasn't been running efficiently, a replacement may make sense. One guide is the $3,000 rule.
Multiply the age of the equipment by the estimated repair cost. If the number is more than $3,000, consider replacing your heating or cooling system. Also consider replacement if any of these apply:
- Your system needs frequent repairs, or energy costs rise for no reason
- Your air conditioner is over 10 years old or rated 10 SEER or less
- Your heat pump is over 10 years old or rated 10 SEER or less, or 8 HSPF or less
- Your furnace is over 15 years old or rated 80% AFUE or less
What we install
Heating and cooling systems we install.
We'll always guide you through your choices and offer solutions that fit your home's size, location, and budget.
Central air conditioners
Most homes use split systems: an outdoor unit with a condenser and compressor, and an indoor evaporator coil. We recommend replacing both at the same time.
Heat pumps
Heating and cooling in one integrated system, and an energy-efficient option for Alabama's mild climate.
Ductless mini-split systems
No ducts needed. A great fit for additions without ductwork, and for homes that want room-by-room temperature control.
Wi-Fi and smart thermostats
Control your comfort from one place. Smart thermostats can learn how to heat and cool your home more efficiently over time.
Ductwork
Ductwork installation as part of a new system or a home addition.
Commercial air conditioning
Commercial air conditioning systems for local businesses, in addition to residential installs.
Quality installation
Correct installation sets the tone for your system's whole life.
Installing a new system can be stressful, but you don't have to go through it alone. We'll talk you through your options, decide together what's best, and take the steps to install the right equipment.

Still have a question? Our office is open Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM.
How long does HVAC installation take?
The duration varies based on system complexity, but most standard installations are completed within one day. More complex setups or additional ductwork may extend the timeframe.
What is the difference between variable-speed and two-stage systems?
Variable-speed systems operate in longer, lower-speed cycles, providing consistent comfort and energy efficiency. Two-stage systems have two levels of operation, high for extreme temperatures and low for milder days, offering improved efficiency over single-stage systems.
Why would I choose a heat pump for my home?
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, making them versatile for year-round comfort. They are especially efficient in moderate climates and can be an energy-saving alternative to traditional systems.
Can I install an HVAC system myself?
HVAC installation involves complex procedures, including handling refrigerants and ensuring proper system sizing. It's strongly recommended to have a licensed professional perform the installation to ensure safety, efficiency, and warranty compliance.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Spivey's Heating & Air offers flexible HVAC financing options with approved credit, and our team can walk you through the process of financing a new system.
